That's all right 30 far as Mr.. Win

Garter do without a Leader! Has he
become one of those pests of society
known as q bloated bondholder? Will
he desert the newspaper fraternity,
turn his back upon his old associates,
place his feet against the jamb, cock
his hat to one side, incline his body
at an angle of 45 in his easy chair
and smoke ffty-cent Havanas, un-
mindful of the struggles and troubles
of his former friends? The editor
